It should be written in the form ax²+bx+c=0,
so you meed to move -8 to the left side
2x²+6x+8=0
the number in front of x² is a
the number in front of x is b
the number without x is c,
so a=2, b=6,c=8
To solve, you would need to make two equations and substitute one in for the other. Let a = # of adults, and c = # of children
5a + 2c = 1,220
a + c = 295
a + c = 295
-c -c
a = 295 - c
5(295 - c) + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 5c + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220
-1,475 -1,475
-3c = -255
-3c/-3 = -255/-3
c = 85
a + c = 295
a + 85 = 295
-85 -85
a = 210

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest leg warmer:
4.5
The longest leg warmers:
6 and 6.5
6 + 6.5 = 12.5
12.5 - 4.5 = 8
40% means 0.4 .
So . . . . . 7 = 0.4 N .
Divide each side by 0.4 . . . N = 7/0.4 = 17.5
